DX-Ball
Moby ID: 1328
Windows version
Doesn't do much, but does it very well. Highly recommended.
The Good
It fits on a single floppy, it's free, it's fast, and it used to keep my seven year old son happy for hours. It works on every machine I have tried it on (including a very peculiar laptop that usually had trouble with Direct-X). When a friend asks if I have any games, DX-Ball is the first one I give them.
The Bad
Nothing! But don't expect too much - it really is pretty simple. And what is wrong with that?
The Bottom Line
Like the old tennis game of the 1970s, but updated. Addictive. Free, and takes up almost no space. Go on, try it.
